Then the transports would go on to their base, taking me along with them. It was pleasant to see the faces of the P-40 boys aboard my transport when it took off. They didn't know anything about the field they were going to, but they knew that they were going for a rest, so they expected that there would at least be huts and showers there. They looked somewhat astonished when the trans- ports settled down in a vast field of stubble without a sign of a huilding any- where around it. There were a few B-25 bombers on the field and in the distance some tents. A transport ser- geant came out of the pilot's compart- ment forward in our plane and worked his way toward the tail of our ship, climbing over the barracks bags heaped in the space between the seats. "I guess this is where you get out," he told the P-40 fellows. A couple of soldiers jumped out and the rest began passing out bags and rifles to them. Pretty soon all the stuff was piled outside the plane and the soldiers were standing on the field, turning their backs to a sharp wind and audibly wondering where the hell the barracks were. A jeep with an officer in it drove out from among the tents and made its way among the transports until it arrived at our ship. The trans- port major talked to the officer in the jeep, and then they both drove over to the transport Christman was travelling in and picked him up, and the three of them drove back to the tents. Some soldiers who had been near the jeep had heard the field's officer say that nobody there had heen notified that her were coming. The transport major had re- plied that all he knew was that he had orders to leave them there. The sol- diers who had heard the conversation communicated the news to the others by Army telegraphy. "Situation nor- mal! " one soldier called out, and every- body laughed. Soldiers are fatalistic a bout such situations. Some time before a report had circu- lated among the men that the squadron was to go back to the United States. N ow I heard one soldier say, "This don't look like no United States to me." Another one said, "When we get back there, Freddie Bartholomew will be running for President." He didn't seem sore. Somebody said, "I hear they're go- ing to start us here and let us hack our way through to South Africa." Somebody else began a descant on a favorite Army fantasy: what civilian life will be like after the war. "I bet if
